Well-written, engaging and fast-paced plot, with an interesting/unexpected ending. 

The story begins with Cy Ford heading north to take a new job as a wildlife ranger. The story flips “time zones” occassionally to allow a few back stories to develop. Cy Ford and his colleagues are drug runners, using sled dogs. When they choose to end their drug-running, their boss disagrees. They become embroiled in a turf war between their boss and a rival. When the bullets start to fly, the local law enforcement become involved. 

The supporting characters are well developed. The setting was intriguing and allowed the writer to involve sled dogs which added an interesting layer that could’ve been developed more.

A throughly interesting, adventurous and fast read. Highly recommended.
